The Mount Palomar Telescope has a diameter of 5.0 m and a focal length of 18m. The sun has a diameter of 1.4 x 10^9 m and is 1.5 x 10^11 m away. Find the size of the image of the sun formed by the Mount Palomar telescope.
Useful formulas:
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
hi/ho = di/do
Variables: f = focal length, do = object distance, di = image distance, hi = image height, ho = object height
Answer is 17 m, please show you work, and explain with some logic!
Thanks.
Answer is 17 cm, not m, sorry!!!
